Top 10 Online Marketing Blog Posts in 2011

Top 10 Blog Posts

Like many at this time of year, I take a look back over the past 12 months and reflect on my business accomplishments. This year I also took a look at the blog posts on this site that generated the most traffic.  A high level of social sharing usually resulted in more traffic, though not always a lot of comments. I can improve on this by asking more provocative or engaging question at the end of my blog posts. 

For your end of the year review, here are the top 10 posts on this blog for 2011 counting down from number ten:

10. Social Marketing Tips Mobile App Now Live! (this one surprised me)

9. What's Your Facebook Visibility Plan?

8. Poke the Box – What Are You Ready to Start?

7. Writing Blog Posts that Captivate and Convert (excellent interview with copywriting and SEO expert Karon Thackston)

6. Kindle Ebooks Free to Borrow for Amazon Prime Members

5. Contagious Content – Strategic Posting for Better Visibility on the Web

4. Are Your Social Networks Getting Out of Control?

3. Self-Publish Your Ebook on Amazon.com's Kindle

2. How to Optimize Your Blog for More Subscribers

and… drum roll please…

the #1 most popular post in 2011 is…

1. 7 Ways to Use Amazon to Boost Your Visibility

Do you see a theme here? Amazon and Kindle publishing is HOT – three posts made it into the top 10!

I was surprised that none of the posts on listbuilding made it in the top ten since that topic is a perennial favorite.
